Sidewalk Obstruction.


a correspondent sends in the following
- certain livery stable proprietor, whose
place OF business is on Seventh street,
seems to have queer idea of the use of
sidewalks, and regularly violates an ordi-
nance which has caused other people con-
siderable annoyance and frequent visits
from officer Franks. The gentleman re-
ferred to has pre-empted claim some six
or seven feet wide and the entire length of
his property. On this reservation he stands
many buggies and wagons. On this &C.
count the sidewalk is rendered extremely
narrow, and often pedestrians are crowded
IN passing each other at this point. Many
ladies complain of this obstruction and,
the police officer who patrols the beat in
which it is located should see that it is i'm
mediately and permanently abated."
